IN November last the Republicans of
Indiana elected their candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor, to ill vacancy, by over
5000 majority. Until after the votes
we're counted there was no dispute as to
che existence of vacancy. The lead
ing attorneys of the State. Republican
and Democratic, agreed that there was
4 vacancy, and 50 advised the State con
ventions. Judge Turpie, the alleged
United States SenatOr-elect from Indi-
ana. advised the Democratic State Con-
vention 10 writing that there was va
cancy. When it was found that the
Republican candidate, Robertson, was
elected, and would be the constitutional
presiding officer of the Senate, the Dem
ocratic leaders declared that there was
no vacancy, that Robertson was there
fore, not elected, and that Green Smith.
